this ep felt like filler, a lot went over my head was i wasn't focused on what was going on - cause it was boring ugh - hope the next ep gets better & there is some type of meaningful dialogue where they might talk more about themselves... the work stuff while a plot-point isn't that stimulating

another one of these short Chinese BL's that has 2 or 3 actors at the max, all shot in a Japanese house - probably all filmed in japan. makes u wonder how many of these actors went on this filming trip & how many BL's were made. recognized the actor playing Cheng Hai from Lost in Kyoto , while i don't recognize the other actor - but he is a beauty. *******************************the plot is interesting - well there isn't much of a plot. but have to say eating spoilt yogurt won't give u a fever, u for sure will suffer from diarrhea, heck even explosive diarrhea, which by the end will leave u bone tired, but it wont start with a fever or feeling weak. more like intense stomach pains & then spending the rest of the night on the toilet. but i guess that aint sexy lol. but interesting 1st ep - short as it was

this ep was basically fluffy filler, yeah it was cute that the main couple acted like a couple (& i mean by this, that Uea stopped with his hard to get act) but like i mentioned in the previous ep - this whole BL could've been cut down to 8 eps & not for a sec, would anyone feel like something was lacking. **************************************************************************************as the main subject or Uea's mother was never dealt with. so yeah it's great that King's parents accepted Uea, but given his mother, his step father being a pedo & his half-sister being dependent on Uea, add to this the fact they have money & statues - this would become an issue sooner or later. but everything was brushed off & we were just given a lot of positive fluffy, that was way unrealistic - but it is what it is. **********************************************************************************************this could've been more, but as per usual issues r just used as plot devices, but then never addressed or solved in any way. this whole BL relied more on the sexual chemistry between the mains IMO & nothing more, so idk how i feel about this - but know this a one off.

this ep felt like filler - there was so much crap - but throughout this BL i don't know why we needed so many annoying side character's, that added nothing but a lot of noise - for that Jade was enough, the dude is a total moron (& not in a funny endearing way - he plain annoying) & without all those pointless scenes, this could've gotten wrapped up by ep 8. ***************in this whole ep, other then the stepdad getting carted off to prison, his b*tch of a wife making a huge scene, the "talk" between brother & sister - where i don't why, she had to refer to herself in the third person - moronic. & the best bit was King taking Uea to meet his parents & then the end, when King's mother stopped by to give her OK to both son & future son-in-law. ************now she is a caring mother, she might be tough on the outside but she got a good heart. even though given Uea's mother, i am worried what happens when these two cross paths. as i doubt Uea's mother will leave him be - especially now that her dear hubby aint around to finance her lifestyle. guess she will be addressed in the last ep.

this ep had it's ups & downs. i liked the scene where Uea went to meet his aunt, she such a normal woman in comparison to that witch of a sister (Uea's mother) wish we would know what happened for them to lose contact, cause even if the sister's fell out, couldn't she keep in touch with the abused child = Uea?!? *********************************************************************& i liked the whole ousting Krit the perv from the office, even though how King got access to the security cam footage is beyond me, but that whole issue was rushed & solved in a blink. *******************************************************************even the conversation at the end was gratifying as the mains were finally communicating or rather Uea was opening up about his trauma. but everything else was utter crap. cause after everything King has done & keeps doing he still needs to prove himself to Uea?!? why??? given ALL his baggage, one would think he would be on his knees thanking the gods that someone like King looked his way, let alone is bending over backwards to make his life easier at every turn, removing obstacle's & shielding him for anything that would bother him, let alone hurt... King is like a freakin fairy godmother in a hot bod & a handsome face, but Uea playing hard to get, cause it's cute?!? nah - miss me with that sh*t. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note: i don't believe a pedo that targets children will then target adults. there is a reason they target children, adults r scarier & harder to handle. so Uea's stepfather's other victims being adults is a reach. but i guess this another rush job. even though i wonder why every problem is getting solved so fast, as there still 2 more ep's to go. i guess the mother issue needs to be solved. that's gonna be a hell of a bad joke - i have a feeling, as Uea said the reason he can't go home was his stepfather & not his mother, who IMO is the main culprit - main bad-guy in this story!

OMG but this was an infuriating ep - where to start, i get King getting angry at Uea's rejection, as i understood why Uea took a step back given his trying & King backing out of the vaca... but still, King kept vigilant guard around Uea cause he knew Krit was lurking. but am sorry, But getting called after hrs when the office is deserted to Krit's office - then seeing him lock the door - why go in? why NOT unlock the door - who was gonna walk in???? & what business secrets was Krit gonna discuses with a freakin graphic designer, that he needed to lock the door?!? still happy that at least this time Uea did more then just shout for help. personally wish he picked up that potted plant & brought it down on his head for good measure. *************************** but the next day not filing harassment or assault charges, is beyond me. like WTF after that i wouldn't be able to be in the same room with the f*cker, let alone be civil towards him. ********************************************************************************here it took the f*cker going to Uea's home, for him to threaten him? & then even, what does he do he resigns - that's an empty threat. Krit will just move on to his next victim. *************************************************************************************but the messed up part, was the whole confrontation with the family, that sister is a moron & it annoyed me - her trying to get Uea to stop. but what frustrated me, was how long it took Uea to open his mouth & then too he sounded more like a child questioning his mother, then one accusing her of all her wrongs. & sorry but the most important part was never said - the money. her milking him non stop - why not throw that fact in her face?!? she is disgusting - heck that whole family is, cause the sister knows who her mother is, yet she guilts her brother into coming back, when she knows how he gets treated. & after the big blowup i hope Uea will break things off with that family, but i don't think he will, cause they his family & this an Asian BL after all - so no matter what they do or how they treat u they ur family till death do u part like the freakin mafia... ugh

i feel like King keeps brining up the issue of his mother wanting arrange a meeting with a woman, cause he wants to force Uea into admitting, that they r more then "bed friends", that Uea feels something more for him, as hinting that he wants more, that he can commit, that he can stop being a player r all falling of deaf ears. so this is his way of making Uea admit he wants more too. ***********************************************************************************************************************************& when Uea was finally looking forward too & wanted to vacation together with King, his mother put an end to Uea reaching out to King & not just being a passive participant. ***********************************************************************************the mains have great chemistry in bed, but their communication skills r lacking. & i get now Uea is back to his old aloof self cause he tried & got shot down. but if he doesn't want to rely on anyone, cause he feels no one is trust worthy, he needs to learn how to stand-up for himself & avoid perverts - he as no problem standing up to King, but not when it comes to guys that can really be dangerous...

i really want to see some type of progress between Uea & King - emotionally, but more then that i want to see one whole ep where King doesn't needlessly apologize!! he goes around saying 'sorry' when he has done nothing wrong, so even if he f*cks up, it aint something big & after all the apologizing i kinda don't feel like Uea deserves it. he should be the one apologizing & trying to get over himself. he aint gods gift to King or mankind. with all the baggage he is carting around, he should be grateful he found someone as kind & considerate as King & if this wasn't enough to make King a hell of a catch, he has turned into Uea's personal body guard & nanny all rolled into one. ************************************************************************************cause of King Uea goes around like a headless moron; getting blind drunk chatting up a stranger from another country, acting coy not putting Krit in his place. he just turns mute around other guys, but finds his tongue around King, then he is cutting him with his words & for some whacked reason King, finds that charming, like WTF. ***************************************************side note: i should like Jade & Gun but have to say they kinda annoying, luckily there a ton more annoying side character's then them - but still they all kinda pointless & i rather see more of the mains.. but that's cause i need to see them growing as a couple - wishful thinking when Uea is involved i know. but one can hope.

ep 4 already & i just can't seem to warm up to Uea, yeah i feel sorry for the sh*t he has been through, but he is such a passive victim, it's kinda doing my head in. of course King had to come to his rescue in the parking lot - yet, why does it always feel like he is the one doing King a favor, when they r together?!? ***************************************************************************then his B-day, so what if his sister called? the one things that is good about siblings, is the ability to be candid with them about family secrets. ok - not saying he should confide in her about almost getting assaulted by their step-father (even though like i already mentioned, pedo's don't just target one child. when there r two under the same roof) but about their mother, tell his sister 'i love u but i can't be under the same roof as her.." that's one thing a brother can & should be able to tell his sister. & the sister having been a 1st had witness, would/should understand why her brother would want to spend his birthday anywhere but under the same roof as the woman that abused him verbally & physically, throughout his childhood. *************************also he is an adult & even now hasn't found his voice?!? so his mother didn't believe him - fine but why put himself in the same situation & when that pedo tried to touch him - why stay quite?!? flip the table, make a mess, make a hue and cry - anything but just run out & crying - what that help? at least if it burst at the moment, it would force them to realize that he is either telling the truth or not want to contact him, so everything could be hushed up. so no i aint feeling sad for Uea he has shown no growth. even when he is with King he always acts like he is doing him a favor & even in bed it's like King is there to service him. also that end - where he is chatting up a foreigner, while getting blind drunk - like r u kidding me?? he on a downward spiral? he wants to get assaulted??? King has turned into his nanny - **************************************************************************from the start i like King, yeah he is flirty, but he isn't a player from what i have seen & he has had a crush on Uea from the start (which i genuinely don't get) & by this stage i really don't get why King wont move on cause he deserves better. watching cater to Uea is tiring me out. will say this again he deserves better! but know he will never move on cause that's how this is written -

Uea had one heck of a childhood not enough a homophobic, abusive c*nt of a mother, he also had a pedo for a stepfather?!? like WTF, can only guess how bad that all went. but what worries me is that when we talking pedos their targets have little to nothing to do about gender, they wanna destroy innocence, the fact it's a boy or a girl doesn't really matter, more important if the target is easy & introverted. & Uea got a younger sister - so this fact becomes really terrifying when u think about it & that witch of a mother doesn't seem to care for anything but money. ********************************************************************but i didn't get why King had to apologize for triggering Uea, he didn't know & i am 99% sure he has kissed him on the nape of the neck multiple times, but cause this time it wasn't at the heat of sex Uea got triggered?? & King needed to apologize like he did something wrong - really??? ******************************************************************************************************also Uea was asking for that sh*t at the end - yeah i am victim blaming - sorry but u need to be a genius to "get" that taking ur bleedin time in a deserted parking lot after hrs is DANGEROUS?!??? even if Uea hadn't been attacked that same day, something that would stick with u & make u weary especially in the place it happened, what there no rapist? robbed? in Thailand?? & after all he has lived throw he should know better. as a women i know this - what as a victim he doesn't??? plz

Uea's mother is a piece of work, given what she did to him & how she is treating him, i don't get why he hasn't broken off contact with her. i get that he might love his sister & father, they might not be like the mother. but self preservation matters & sometimes u need to cut out people from ur life otherwise they will keep brining u down & sometimes those people r blood related. yeah it aint easy - but it's better then getting treated like his mother treated him in the hospital. but i do see where he gets his mean-girl personality from. *************************************************************************************************that's why i don't get why King can't get over him, yeah he cute but that personality is repulsive & in real life once people get to see him in action he will be left all alone. so i don't get why King still circling him. but i guess then no BL. *************************btw it's great that Uea apologized, but he never once offered to pay King back the money he gave his mother. that was weird. he not ur bf or spouse. & u just offered to go to the ATM, u can still go & pay him back. idk that bothered me.

Uea is a really unlikeable character, yeah u felt sorry for his childhood & that "mother" but on a whole i don't get why he walking around like god's gift to mankind. not everyone that smiles at him, is a player & just cause some r flirty - that doesn't a player make them. ********************************************************************************************************************i get he got morals & that's all well & good, but u don't have to be an ass about it & the way u treat people/men. also get that maybe cause of his childhood, he just avoids confrontation - so instead of having a talk to end things with his bf (that he caught cheating) or standing his ground where his mother is concerned, now that he is an adult he just avoids people in the hopes problems will go away - which it never will. ******************************************************************************************am thankful that at least with King he didn't shift the blame (even though King should've known better then to get into bed with someone as drunk as Uea was) but Uea didn't act a child & when he was cornered, he finally admitted he was at fault too & that he just wanted to chalk the night they spent together, to a one nightstand - put it behind them & go on as if it never happened. that not really a conversation, but at least he didn't shift the blame & start a fight so lets hope in the ep he starts to change cause walking around with that chip on his shoulder isn't making me root for him. just making me feel sorry for King.

this was ridiculous all the tearing up, but still ending up in bed together & then Greg getting angry that Tupe wanted to leave, if anything that was a logical move. but hey everything worked out - even though i kinda laugh my head off when Rich popped-up when Tupe was confessing his love to Greg. *****************************************************************************************btw given the fact Rich called Tupe husband, while Greg threw the fact that Tupe'a moans didn't make it seem like he was having a bad time - think both father & son could have a relationship with Tupe. weird? any weirder then what we got in this BL?!? don't think so. ******************************************************************************************************************this morally was just gross & i aint sad that Rich got hurt - he landed back on his feet at the end - btw idk why we needed the "...women r poison sign..." this not f*cked up enough, we needed to add a misogynistic message at the end just to wrap things up?!? which woman would want a part in this mess??? lol pretty sure Rich's wife is thankful she's in a better place

feel like every ep i start the comment with the word 'shock' well i wasn't shocked this ep - it was obvious that the young hot blooded guys would end up in bed. the fact one is the son & the other the lover/bf would be weird, if this whole dynamic wasn't f*cked up from the start. if anything Tupe & Greg hooking up was more natural & logical. *****************************************but them continuing after talking to Rich was a bit yuck. not that i am that invested in Rich & Tupe's romance, doubt Tupe is either - the only reason he is with Rich is cause Rich is his sugardaddy. that's a fact u can't avoid. he is more worried about losing everything Rich can give him - as sorry i don't think for one sec he is in-love with Rich. like i am 99% sure Rich is in lust with Tupe - not love. don't buy that anyone in this is emotionally involved. *********************************************************but the father son relationship is kinda f*cked now that they both literally f*cked the same guy - doubt they that open minded - even though u never know with men - sorry bad joke lol

WTF is going on?!?????? i get Greg getting shocked (even though he should've known) but i guess with the recent loos of his mother i guess he was surprised - that & the age difference i guess. but then the 180 at the end - what r they (& asking the writers that thought this up, not just the) character's thinking?!? this absurd on so many levels -
